Justin Verlander was the star of the game, going eight innings, giving up two hits, no runs and one walk while striking out 10. By giving up no runs, Verlander's ERA in seven divisional series starts drops to 1.83.

It should be noted that Kate Upton Fatheads were near the bullpen prior to the game and around the stadium. For those who don't know, Upton and Verlander used to date. It seems A's fans tried to get to him before the game began.
